Our Advent Calendar

I really like the advent we are doing this year! Its cute, kid friendly, and Lu loves it *thats what matters*

I made "24" snowmen, completed with fabric scarves (PERFECT for those scraps you dont want to throw out and have on hand!), and a little black hat.

Underneath the hat is where the "activity" for the day is! Lu loves it, she has been going over there to see under the hat all day :) I wish I would have lifted a hat and took a pic but I forgot!

Our Calendar is simple this year mostly because we are still adjusting to out "bigger" family.

Some of the Activities are:

Decorate Tree

Movie night

Read a Christmas story

Sing a song together

Dance around the house

Go to Steak n Shake for a shake

make an ornament

do a craft

paint

playdate w/ a friend

bake

walk the neighborhood looking for Christmas lights

Drive around town to see the lights

ect ect ... you get my drift right? Simple yet fun! I love having an advent keeps you busy while waiting for Christmas, and it also keep me accountable to do things everyday with Lu no matter how busy I get! I think I should make one every month :)
Check out our advent from last year here

Many more Christmas projects coming this week, I've been crafting away during Tierney's naptime :)
